One person was wounded in a stabbing near an elementary school in Alhambra on Tuesday afternoon, causing an hours-long lockdown as police searched for the suspect. 

It happened at around 2 p.m. near Atlantic Boulevard and Spruce Street, according to the Alhambra Police Department. They said that they were called to the area after learning of the stabbing. 

Upon arrival, they found the victim, only identified as a male, suffering from a stab wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition, police said.
